Do you expect a White LG Nexus 4 later?
I think it would look really cool.
I hope so, car phone had white versions.

Pretty sure I saw one in one of the videos today, but it was just the soft-touch surround that was white; back and front are probably still black.
Edit: how's this?

That's just a reflection off of the chrome bezel.
The chrome bezel is only a millimeter or two wide, there's clearly white below that.
HowEVER, it might just be a reflection from the lightbox they're shooting the photo in, but that doesn't really make sense as the soft-touch surround appears to be matte in other footage.
that is either white or a pretty good optical illusion from the materials or the light box...
if it is white...it might be google exclusive?

Google exclusive as to it's employee's? If so I probably wouldn't think they'd go through such a hassle of making the device different color in its entirety just for their staff. For the Nexus Prime it was just a back cover.
I would really like to see how a white version would look like. Currently I have a white Gnex, which is awesome. I'd like a black face and a white back, just like the Gnex. Would be great if Google would shed some light regarding this matter.
It will return as Nexus the Grey to counter Sauron Apple of Mordor

Still is technically a "back cover".... just the ring portion of it.
Any more word on a white one??
Do. Not. Want.
I actually cringed when I saw it. Kinda fugly but hey, to each his/her own.
Motomaker.com is now live, but you can only play around with it and save your order. You need to go to an Att store and buy in store, where they give a moto card with a code that will allow you to complete the order online. Why do we have to go to the store? Well they want us to use the in-store displays and see the colors in real life (not all the colors look exactly the same as the renders due to lighting), so this minimizes the chances of someone sending it back to change colors if it didn't turn out the way they expected it.
Anyway, get to it and have fun.
Here is mine (back/accents/front): Royal blue/Orange/Black

Will it get more attention? Yea sure any phone that has three distinct colours like those would attract some attention, but I personally don't think it would be very pleasing to the eye as something that is all white/black with one other colour accent.
But hey I like minimalistic things and plain uniform patterns.

I've played around with this same scheme. The orange really pops against the black and the woven black definitely looks nice.

A lot of conservative people probably feel the same too. I've been going back and forth on whether I like the woven black. The smooth black you get on the motomaker is a clear winner, and picking color accents gives just a little bit of flare without having an overly flashy from having a colored back.
I'm on moto x number three and I've noticed a disturbing trend. The workers that assemble your phone are not very careful. Every device I've purchased has come with superficial scratching on either the bezel, custom color back, or both. This last device has the usual small marks but also a rather deep nick in the bezel right between the silver keys on the side.
Moto has agreed to exchange whenever I want but really, I don't want another 3 or more week wait. I wonder what the magic number is until a manufacturer does QC on the stuff they make. $545 apparently is not enough.

This is a custom motomaker version. No real reason that it should be this way with "Murican" workers!

My black Verizon day one model was assembled in the USA
-Moto X-
Dude I totally agree. My first moto maker moto x had two little scratches. I got my second one today for replacement and there's still a small scratch, but I'm keeping it. Don't know whether it's the workers or the stock themselves
I just noticed what appears to be a very a small scratch on the back of my phone by the camera opposite the loudspeaker and I'm 99% sure I didn't put it there.
Not to discredit the OP or other post. But I ordered a royal blue with white front and I'm very anal about scratches and thoroughly inspected my phone and it was perfect. No separation or scratches. So QC is not that bad.

Same here, I have two moto x devices, both moto makers and both pristine. But with any mass produced consumer item, there will be issues, I've seen stuff like this with Samsung and Apple... I think, to a degree, superficial defects are more noticeable with moto x users because there is such an emphasis on the aesthetics of the device. I know I've spent more time staring at this phone (not the screen) probably more than all my other phones combined... Just rolling the phone around in my hands admiring the color, build and uniqueness... This in itself, fundamentally, increases the odds of finding those defects.
But the two I have are the best build quality in a phone I've seen with android and the fact that it was built to order is that much more satisfying.
Op, try not to sweat the small stuff, bit if it bothers you that much then maybe it's time to try a different device? Hopefully you can find something that you find acceptable.
AT&T Moto X rocking rooted 4.4
Mine is fine
3 custom Motomaker devices and 1 stock white device here at work, all perfect.
I'm glad some of you got some nice ones. I love white faced phones but mostly got the white because the black at best buy showed really badly with scratches... Similar bezel design to my nexus s. I have very good vision and I'm ocd. The bezels on all three had some light scratches. The first I returned to recoup $150. It was the least defective of all of the. I feel uber foolish returning it because it was awesome. Gorgeous perfect hued screen, no tint and very tight fit. Second was my $150 off version. Came with less light scratching but had a weird little marr in the olive back finish. Also had 2 small scratches on the sides of the green back. The screen looked great and I would have kept it but it froze downloading 4.4 and refused to fully boot thereafter. Not even rsd lite could bring it back. I sent it back and received my 3rd device yesterday. Phone looked perfect till I looked near the silver keys... Big nick with a spec of dirt in the deepest part of the scratch. I was thinking of just keeping it but if also has a super green tint to it. White is very green. Both of the others looked awesome. Neutral, white whites and no color probs or banding.
I'm kind of hitting Murphys law here or some kind of punishment for saving $150!:

I bought the same color scheme and mine was perfect. hell i didn't even want to touch it at first.
I did drop it on a concrete floor right on to a chip of masonry which put a small nick in the blue back. It was a pretty bad fall, I was suprised it still worked. That fall probably would have cracked my old samsung in half.
Normally I'm prone to bad luck like the above mentioned but my custom (cement back / white front / blue buttons) Verizon Moto X showed up at my door in flawless condition.
I too am VERY anal about this sort of thing...
I'm not anal. Mine was fine. Could care less about anything other then the screen or camera glass, case always covers it. I can imagine there's no scratches on your car too right?
I must be somewhat lucky then, because I am ridiculously picky about this sort of thing. I expect a %100 perfect device inside the box when I unbox it. Any scratch, blemish, or manufacturing defect of any kind is completely unacceptable. If I see dust on the screen cover they ship with I'm frustrated, but it's tolerable. I have had two developer editions and a motomaker for Tmo and they have all been acceptable. By acceptable I mean no scratches of any kind anywhere on the device, no misaligned components, and no button issues. If there is any lint or dust that shows up under the camera lens cover, that warrants a replacement.
I expect anyone else to hold Moto to the same standards too, I'd be very upset if the phone showed up with any of these problems.
we have 2 Moto Maker Moto X's and both came flawless..
one, white front, woven black back silver accents and one white front, royal blue back with purple accents. No issue with either.
thats too bad about the OP having issues, maybe those have been end of the day friday builds???
I also wonder, if you send yours back do they just change out the parts on it or give you another entire new phone..
I'll buy someone's scratched Moto x... Give you 100 bucks and I'll put my otter box on it... And sell my perfect white one for 400.

I was going to go with orange. I had it loaded up and ready to go.. But then I remembered that it looked kinda dull on my first x. Hoping the red pops a bit like my blue does on my current one.
That combo looks really good though.
something like that
It'll be one of these designs...I might save the $25 leather upcharge and put it towards either the rapid charger or a Moto Hint.

It's suppose to be a bumper.. I chose the crimson color one.. but the render is different than what it shows on the website..
The crimson from the product page is here. http://www.motorola.com/us/consumer...ses-for-Moto-X-by-CaseMate/hula-cases-x1.html
but i like the one from the moto x motomaker color.. it's more of a crimson. The link I posted is very orange like red..pinkish. I hope it's the darker red that matches the red trim color I chose...
Somewhat off topic: when I am making my designs and go to the end I get an error message saying that the 32GB and front color selection (whether black or white) is unavailable for T-Mobile at this time? Seems odd.
Anyway, heres what Ill attempt to make… I think. I happen to change my mind often
Slate back, white front, silver accents

this was one of the choices i was deciding between. i think this looks the most premium out of all the design choices possible. was also considering black front and white back aka storm trooper. ultimately decided i wanted a color that popped.

Yeah, I loved the 'Premium' look of this combo.
I considered the Storm Trooper look however my first Nexus 5 was the white edition and I hated it, ended up trading it for a black one.
Although I have a poll for this thread, I'm sure it could never capture all the various things everyone will do. But how do you plan to order your Moto X Style/Pure?
I'm so happy about this one, I'm going the whole 9 yards:
SD Card Slot
64GB
Black Leather back
Some custom text on the back.
Who knows, if they offer more, I may get that too .
Edit: Sorry for including the MicroSD as a poll option. I didn't realize it was part of the stock spec at the time.
I didn't understand the SD card was an add on.

I know it's been advertised as an optional microSD card slot, but I understand that to mean you can add your own memory. The card slot is with the sim slot from what I've seen.

My intention is for the phone to be all black.
Also not sure if I will get Leather or the Silcon type of backing. I think I need to feel both before I buy, as I hate the feeling of silicon cases so wonderig if it will be same ... but surely it cant be because the Silicon cases feel tacky and cheap.

With a Black front panel you can only get the Dark Grey frame.
White front panel you have the option of Chamapange Gold or Silver.

Not my preference, but always props to MKB .
I'm starting to think I won't get any text on the back. That may not go over well in certain business and formal settings.
So I'll get the black leather, with probably silver accents. The front will also be black.

Black front, grey frame, red accents, charcoal ash wood back and 16gb model.
Not too sure about all the options but looking at a black front, dark gray sides, dark wood on the back...I think it's Ash wood?? No idea yet on any accents and as for engraving...welllllll, I tend to sell my phones so I doubt that anyone will want someone else's name engraved on their newly purchased used phone!

Charcoal Ash.
Yeah I was thinking this exact set up ... however not sure if I'd like the feel of the wood, this is my only issue at the minute that we cant see the options in person. Not sure where I would be able to in the UK once its released.

I was thinking the same, but I am worried about the grip, considering how big it is. Now thinking regular black back with blue metal accent. I love the charcoal ash and walnut backs, but not sure how practical they are for the long term.
While I'd prefer the bamboo or walnut backs, I think I'm going with Ebony. Engraving appears to stand out better on that back. So yes on the engraving and I'm hoping to grab the 64GB.
I hope they come out with a keyboard accessory like the note 5! :/
